How to check if memcache or memcached is installed for PHP

Question

Memcache is a caching daemon designed especially for dynamic web applications to decrease database load by storing objects in memory so how do I test if memcache or memcached (for PHP) is installed on my Apache webserver?

Hii,

You can look at phpinfo() or check if any of the functions of memcache is available. Ultimately, check whether the Memcache class exists or not.

e.g.

if(class_exists('Memcache')){
  // Memcache is enabled.
}

Hope it helps!!

Thank You!!
